Indofil Alecto

Indofil Alecto – Advanced GABA-Modulating Insecticide with Tenebenal Technology

Indofil Alecto is a next-generation insecticide powered by Broflanilide 20% SC, part of the meta-diamide (IRAC Group 30) chemical group. With its dual action via contact and ingestion, translaminar movement, and low dosage effectiveness, Alecto offers broad-spectrum protection against resistant pests like Lepidopteran caterpillars, Thrips, and Jassids across a range of crops.

Key Characteristics

• Active Ingredient: Broflanilide

• Concentration: 20% SC

• Formulation: Suspension Concentrate (SC)

• Chemical Class: Meta-Diamide (IRAC Group 30)

• Mode of Action: Binds to GABA receptors, inhibiting signal transmission in insect nervous systems, leading to hyperactivity, paralysis, and death.

How Indofil Alecto Works

• Penetrates leaf tissue (translaminar action), controlling pests even on the lower surfaces.

• Acts on ingestion and contact, ensuring coverage for pests feeding or simply crawling on the surface.

• Effective at very low dosages, reducing environmental impact and pesticide residue.

• Exhibits rainfastness, remaining effective even after rainfall.

Key Features and Benefits

Broad-Spectrum Control – Effective on fruit borers, shoot borers, caterpillars, thrips, and jassids.
Novel Chemistry (Broflanilide) – Unique GABA inhibition mechanism ensures action against resistant pests.
Translaminar Movement – Reaches hidden pests under the leaf surface.
Rainfast and Environmentally Friendly – Low residue and weather-stable.
Crop-Safe – Can be safely used on vegetables, fruits, cotton, and ornamentals without phytotoxicity.
